A wonderful experience in downtown Seattle - our waiter was present but not overbearing, informative and fun. The food was fantastic - we had the grilled octopus (beautifully tender with a delicious smokiness and great sauce), scallops (sweet, fresh and perfectly cooked), black cod (beautiful presentation and perfectly prepared, tender and juicy) and oysters (fresh and complemented with a delicious sauce). Cocktails were presented in an amusing cinema-inspried curation that was all very delicious and thoughtful. Probably our new favorite restaurant in Seattle... Worth the trip from Vancouver!

We came in for brunch and were pleasantly blown away by our experience. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a few dishes and every bite was a burst of flavors. Plus, the mimosas were refreshing and not juiced down. The service was attentive and made us feel welcome. The bartender gave us his recommendations and they were spot on. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience! I have a feeling this’ll be a regular spot 😉

Came here on a Sunday evening as a walk-in. They weren’t able to accommodate us for a table (despite being guests of the hotel) but were able to seat us at the bar. Turned out to be a blessing because the bartender, Rick, was excellent as a server (in addition to making great cocktails). The cocktails were all excellent, as were the octopus appetizer and halibut entree. The risotto was good but got to be a little “much” by the end of the entire dish. Will definitely be back the next time we’re in Seattle.

We went to eat at the whiskey bar, but decided we wanted a little bit more food and came here what a delight! The atmosphere is wonderful. The server was very kind and very friendly, and the food came quickly I got the scallops which were divine. In addition I got the tuna, which was simply delicious. My girlfriend got the sliders and fries, which she said, was very very good. Thank you so much for a wonderful time and great service. We had no problem getting in and got a seat right away.

Had reservations for a weeknight and was seated right away. Friend and I ordered the honey Brie prosciutto toast and street corn. Both were very tasty and good! Entrees we shared the penn cove mussels and the whole fried tai snapper. The fish was little bland but with the sauce and the arugula on the side it was great and refreshing! The mussels, was more of a paella than what we expected off the menu, but it was still good!
